A little about Casey

Born and raised on Evansville’s East Side, Casey has built his businesses close to the place he’s always called home.

A Memorial High School graduate and lifelong Don Mattingly fan, he spent nine years building Grass Kickers before selling the landscaping business in 2024. His next chapter brought a longtime dream to life: Casey’s Dugout, a neighborhood gathering place filled with sports memories and plenty of personality.

He and his wife, Bissy, have two children, Graham and Harper. Family, friendships, and local sports are woven into the story of the Dugout—and the story of Casey himself.
